Gerber Toddler Food, Pasta Stars with Chicken & Vegetables, Mealtime for Toddler, 6PK

These didn't used to be my oldest toddlers' first choice in Gerber's line of toddler meals. I'm not sure why besides maybe not liking the texture of picking them up? She's graduated to learning how to use forks, and she likes them just fine. My youngest toddler is at the same age where she didn't like them (just turned one), and he doesn't prefer them either. I'll watch to see if maybe as he learns how to use utensils if it goes the same way for him as well. As for the rest of the review, I am an avid purchaser of all of Gerber's toddler line of foods. They have limited, simple ingredients and flavors to account for the changing tastes and texture preferences of new little peoples. Though I said the texture didn't seem to be a favorite of my kiddos at first, the texture in general is perfect for babies into toddlers as they learn to chew and start developing their teeth. There's no smell at all either, though so far that has never seemed to be an issue with my kiddos. And the fact that I can throw them into the microwave for 20-30 seconds, and they're cool enough and ready to eat seconds later is a huge plus. And as every mother has had to taste her babies' food, they don't taste bad either. Overall, the price point, convenience, and food qualities make this a decent purchase that your kiddos will thank you for.

I ended up buying these Gerber Meals for days when I just need a quick and easy meal for my 1 year old. I don't use them every day, but they are pretty good!It's a great price, meets a variety of nutrition needs, easy to store/prep/serve, is soft textured for trying more solid foods, and it tastes pretty good (I try them before feeding to my daughter).I just wish my daughter would eat them! She is in a phase where she is suddenly rejecting the spoon and is skeptical of textures.. this is a good way to warm her up to different flavors and textures though.The food presentation and taste is good though since I'm an adult and I end up eating these with her. I would definitely recommend if you want to try some quick easy meals with your kiddo. Great for traveling too if you're going to a place that has a microwave.Hope this helps!

My two kids love these flavors

My pet rats love these!

This is delicious, lots of tasty rice and chicken with corn. It's ruined by the side vegetables which are sparse, very messy and mostly water. There's literally like only a teaspoon of bits of carrot and peas. The dish would be much better if everything was included in the same bowl.

These were lovely

My kid is 18mos old and he's a moody eater. What he likes to eats today, he might not like to eat tomorrow or ever again. We don't have that problem with these meals. This entree is awesome. He goes from hungry to HANGRY, in only a few minutes, so it's great for me because in 30 seconds I've got a filling meal ready for him, and it's good for him because it's fairly balanced with meat, starch and veggies. Quick preparation spares everyone the toddler meltdown.NOTE: He wont eat the carrots as a standalone so I have to trick him and smash them into the mashed potatoes. The seasoning is also pretty bland but I add a little bit of seasonings to it so that is tastes similar to something that I would prepare at home and it works every time!

My baby doesn’t really care for these. The taste is bland … but it is very soft and seems safe for toddlers exploring foods.
